    It tracks that a fascist would present a picture of people who aren’t able-bodied white men and just assume that one should take that as intrinsically negative. It reveals their vile mindset.

      It tracks that they’re unable to recognize bravery just like they’re unable to recognize freedom. Their entire world view is programmed and skewed by the overclass of people who control every aspect of their lives because they rely on brainwashed obedience to maintain that control.

      They don’t ask questions when reality doesn’t line up with whatever they’re being sold, just let it trickle down their throats and say thank you, while convincing themselves it must only be their imagination that it tastes a little funny. If there was really anything to worry about, surely somebody they trust would say something.

      Bravery is supposed to look like Pete Hegseth criticizing women and trans people in the military while he struggles to do a pull up.

      Bravery is not supposed to look like marginalized people refusing to be intimidated into silence by the anti-egalitarian fascists who “joke” about exterminating them.

      Freedom is supposed to look like a ruling overclass free of the burden of the laws and regulations that were created to protect us from the overclass. In exchange the people that support the overclass are free to “joke” about genocide without fear of social consequences.

      Freedom is not supposed to look like the freedom to stand up to oligarchs for your rights and the rights of others. Including the rights of the morons too dumb to understand who’s interests they’re looking out for when they willing hand over their own civil rights and liberties to those who claim “democracy is incompatible with freedom.”
